Hi all,

This is my first post on this list, and my first week using Lilypond for a
real project. Learning a lot in a compressed amount of time... ;-)

I am trying to get metronome markings with "ca." before the number, but
without bold face characters. How can I cancel the bold face font inside a
\tempo command?

The snippet below shows what I've got so far. Bar 2 is what I'm getting by
using \markup inside \tempo. Bar 3 shows what I would like to get. I'm
happy to use Bar 3 solution if that's the only way, but I suppose there is
a solution from inside \tempo?

Thanks for any tips!

Bruno

\version "2.18.2"

melody = \relative c'' {
  % regular
  \tempo 4=120
  % using markup inside tempo
  % characters are printed in bold face
  c4 d e f
   \tempo \markup {
    \concat {
      \smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #"4" #1
      " = "
      \italic ca.
      \hspace #0.25
      "120"
    }
  }
  c d e f

  % not using tempo to avoid bold face
  c^\markup {
    \concat {
      \smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #"4" #1
      " = "
      \italic ca.
      \hspace #0.25
      "120"
    }
  }

}
